Perception Issues Ian Cook
-
- Society & Culture
Annabel & Ian have Perception Issues, like everyone else. Here they try to make sense of this media/content/nonsense laden world.
-
#13 - Walking and Talking during lockdown
Annabel and Ian return in these trying times with a new mobile format.
Sort of.
With COVID19 doing its thing around the world, A+I use their bi-weekly stroll for coffee (exercise) to talk about the pandemic, comfort in Youtube coffee and Scifi, and potentially filling a Succession-sized hole. -
#12 - Nostalgia
Is Nostalgia good or bad? Has it become too powerful? Why are we obsessed with what was? When is a remake a worthy remake? Annabel mostly asks questions that neither Ian nor Annabel can answer. One thing we can agree on, Nostalgia has some serious Perception Issues.

#11 - Is social media evil?
Annabel tries to talk Ian down from the social media ledge.
Is it evil? If so, when did that happen?
Myspace was fun, right?
Can humans be trusted with anything? -
#10 - Caught between two cultures
Ever heard of intragroup marginalisation? No, nor had we. But what effect can being caught between two (or more) cultures have on a person? How does that constant niggling fear of rejection or guilt potentially impact much larger emotions? Annabel and Ian discuss, examine this concept at a personal level and consider why it is so rarely talked about.

The Reply All episode
We referred to a Reply All episode featuring Sal, a Syrian refugee living in Turkey, whose story is both heartbreaking and possibly scarily typical of so many in the present day.

#9 - Emails
What are they trying to say?
Ian and Annabel rant-lite about people losing the ability to speak like normal human beings when they enter the workplace. Bloated emails, I.M etiquette, acrid acronyms and baffling buzzwords. You get the picture. -
#8 - Salad Frosting
Is it a sauce? Is it a dressing? No! It's salad frosting. Annabel and Ian discover Kraft's latest big idea, discuss the perils of lying to your children + debate what's worse: lying or not eating veggies?
